Which grain used to be grown by some native American people (particularly in middle and south America), became almost forgotten, and is rediscovered nowadays because it is more nutritious than almost every other crop? For all I know astronauts' diets often include this grain.

I thought wheat, but that certainly wasn't forgotten and was a staple crop of the US.
Uhm...hmm....good question.
:
Is it a well-known grain found in many foods?

At least it isn't in Europe and I don't think it is in America. I found out that it was grown in Asia and even in parts of Europe too, so it appears it was known before the Europeans came to the Americas. The Aztecs and Incas worshiped the crop and even considered it to have magical powers.

Nope! That one has ever been of tremendous importance and was never almost forgotten.

No.
Actually yours is a very, very good guess. Quinoa is very similar in several ways to the crop I'm talking of and there are very many similarities in the two crops history. You are very close to the answer.

Here's one:
What was the original term for the French words 'garde manger', and what does the word means in the modern world of culinary arts?
Let me know if it's too tricky or needs re-wording.

Hmm...I'll just require the answer to the first question. The second one will be a bonus or saved for later.

The original term was "officer de bouche" (a guy who watched over the cold storage), and it now refers to an entry level cooking position in a restaurant.

Sorry for the LONG reply...
I'll give you that one, Stitch. For personal experience, I did work around cold storage at an entry-level position, in which I was called a pantry cook.
Your turn!
